Restyle.pl Stained Glass skirt (midi version)

Jan 19, 2013 15:30

I ordered the awesome Stained Glass skirt from Restyle.pl.
Here is a small review about it.

Contact
I had some questions about other items. Their replies were very nice and within one day.

Price
The Skirt is around 40€, sometimes a bit more, sometimes a bit less because of the exchange rate.
I paid exactly 40€, plus 6,20€ registered shipping to Germany. However, when I checked out with paypal, there were extra fees or so and so I ended with a total of 49,57€.

Shipping
Shipping was registered letter with DHL. The site says it should arrive within 4 days and it indeed arrived on the 4th day.
The skirt was wrapped in a seperate plastig bag and send in a bubble envelope, with was quite huge for only one item.
The big envelope made sense when I unwrapped it, because of the build-in petticoat they dind´t stuffed it in a small package, but only folded it.


Envelope of 36x48cm and skirt in plastic bag (with some size stickers to make sure it is the right size)

Item
After the description, I was a little bit afraid how stiff the polyester fabric would be. It turned out soft and nice, so no worries here.
The print is good, sometimes not very detailed but a bit blurry, just like these old stone statues become over the years.
I ordered size M, which should be 60cm in length and between 72-80cm in waist.
After my measures it is 59cm long and the non-elastic part is 64cm. The shirring goes from 12cm up to 18,5cm, which makes a waist from 76-82,5cm.


With only the build-in petticoat

The skirt has a build-in petticoat, which consists of an underskirt with a layer of very stiff tulle.


Good point, it gives a lot of volume, you really don´t need another petticoat.

Bad points about that, stiff tulle like this loses it´s volume. I had two pettis made with tulle, and within one year, they were almost dead. I don´t know if the same will happen here, but I suppose it will. Furthermore, the tulle gives very irregular volume, it takes some effort to arrange it equally.
And it´s quite spacy to store. Normally I fold my skirts and store it in my closet, this one can only be hung up.


Despite my nagging about the petticoat (which can be removed very easy, just saying), I really like this skirt, it´s super pretty and well made.
I´m excited if they will release more pretty goth items like this in the future.
